International House of Prayer Kansas City continues to unravel amid founder Mike Bickle’s sex scandal as its Forerunner Church held a final service in the fellowship of about 1,000 worshipers Sunday, leaving some in tears.

The final service, streamed on YouTube, follows a statement from the ministry to The Christian Post in April that it would shutter some aspects of the operations this year, including its school of ministry.

“Today as we’re celebrating the close of Forerunner Church, it’s not anything that we expected to do,” Senior Pastor Isaac Bennett told the congregation. “It’s not anything that we were planning a year ago, like, ‘Hey, we got this wild idea, let’s close down Forerunner Church.'” More Here
